The aim of the course:
The aim of this course is to educate biology and molecular biology students, as well as other life sciences and bioengineering students, who are not biologically rooted, to have knowledge of gene technology and recombinant DNA technology. The basic principles of gene manipulation, cloning strategies, gene transfer studies, basic biology of plasmid and phage vectors, and knowledge of students about sequencing and mutagenesis studies are basic principles.
